I'm in my mid 50's and have been a fitness nut since my teens.
The magic solution is...drum roll....exercise more and eat less!
You can have the best abs in the world and they won't show under a layer of fat. You can do NOTHING about where the fat accumulates (forget the silly yoga crap, etc. for body fat distribution...such things might have their purpose but not for this).
You can burn calories doing weights, running, cycling, etc. Doesn't matter much....just do it and keep at it. Put put down the fork.!
I run about 20 minutes a day 6 days a week and and swim and do weights at the gym 3 days a week. Swimming is a good exercise but make sure you are getting a good work out from it I'm a poor swimmer and exhaust myself quickly (thus working my body)...my wife can do lengths for a half hour and barely exerts herself.
Go to YouTube and watch the best 3 or 4 ab exercises and keep at them. If you get nice abs, you've earned them. No shortcuts. No special diet, devices or whatever. All about bulding ab muscle and losing fat.
